My current place is being sold, so my cheap ass rent for an entire house? Gone!

Oh well, I have a friend in QC looking to move, and he asked if I'd join him. Prices in MTL are of negligible difference to my city in Ontario, but the area we'd be looking is in the more-french portion of MTL.

So I've got maybe 4 months to learn as much french as I can. I have an ok understanding of syntax and can parse the phonemes on the bad end of ok.

I don't wanna use the Owl app, I don't think it's actually that effective a language teacher.

Any advice on how I can shove in as much french as I can to become minimally conversational?

Apps, anki decks, textbooks; anything would be appreciated. ♥

J'aimerais juste ajouter: c'est apprécié que tu penses à ces choses avant de déménager dans une région francophone. C'est très facile lorsqu'on parle anglais de simplement présumer que tous pourront nous comprendre, et apprendre le français ce n'est pas facile.

Bonne chance avec l'apprentissage et le déménagement!

J'apprécie les mots gentils. Je vais faire de mon mieux pour apprendre le français! Merci beaucoup pour vos meilleurs vœux.

Je utiliser plusiers outils y compromis mes amis, ChatGPT, et cours en ligne. J'espère que cela aide mon apprentissage!


Should say:
I appreciate the kind words. I will do my best to learn French! Thank you for the best wishes.

I'm using many tools including my friends, ChatGPT, and online courses. I hope it helps my learning!
